ebinmaine 69,264 #6 Posted February 16, 2022 Ratchet? BAHH!! I use the ever present impact wrench/driver. I usually skip ALL of the first three steps and just go straight to (grunt here) impact power. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 26,312 #10 Posted February 16, 2022 What @Achto is doing here is clever… same as @ebinmaine… post a bunch of stuff unrelated to their respective build threads… keep the ‘s occupied… not paying attention to their build progress… Squirrel!!! 2 2 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,217 #16 Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I had a Trimuph Spitfire a while back. I had to teach it American English. I don't own any spanners, just wrenches. Here, the engine is found under the hood. The convertible top keeps the rain off of the driver. The spare tire is kept in the trunk. A boot keeps mud off of one's foot. A bonnet is what the ladies wear on Easter. Edited February 16, 2022 by 8ntruck 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,741 #17 Posted February 16, 2022 The right tool for the job. So if it doesn't come loose hit it with the Snap-On ratchet because it's heavier than the Craftsman ratchet! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,741 #24 Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I had to fill in at a nursing home when they were in the process of hiring a new lead mechanic. One of the guys took me around the campus the first day I was there. There was stuff torn apart everywhere. clothes dryers, heat pumps, ice machines, beds. Everything apart and nothing even started to be put back together. They told me the old guy "Pete" only carried a hammer. I ordered a metal dumpster and threw out 90% of it! When I left that employment I went to work in the local school districts. Pete was lead mechanic in one of those schools. Yup I followed behind him fixing everything there. I programed my phone contact for him as: "Pete The Hammer!" Edited February 16, 2022 by squonk 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
